  6. Re:Wait there's more on Google Patents Staple of '70s Mainframe Computing · · Score: 1

    For those who do not get the joke, he is referring to the 70's when programs were written on IBM punch cards, and you could change the program by physically moving them. Punch cards are actual paper with holes punched in them to be machine readable. Sorry about being so obvious.

  18. You would not believe how much time is wasted flying around waiting to train. Your training area is rarely near your airfield. You fly a few hours, then wait until other planes take turns doing the mission. You then roll in and perform the training mission, then quickly exit so someone else can. Now, you do need to learn to take off, fly long distances and land, but it is not useful training when you are focused on another mission. With the simulator, you can start in mid air and begin the mission right away. It is not a replacement for actual flying, but you can get up to speed in the simulator prior to flying the mission, and keep sharp when flying isn't practicle.
